Our residents enjoyed a matinee at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts recently to see "The Hound of the Baskervilles."  They were thrilled to see Marketing Director Staci Rosenberg-Simons in her roles as both Sherlock Holmes' housekeeper Mrs.  Hudson, and as the housekeeper at Baskerville Hall, Mrs. Barrymore!
Artist of the Month
Rosalie Harrow
Like many of our featured Lindner Artists, Rosalie began to create artwork as a very young child.  She studied fashion design and sewing in High School and went on to major in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Before starting her family, Rosalie worked as an assistant to a designer of children's clothing.
 
Rosalie is an active participant in all of the activities that are offered here, but mostly enjoys all forms of art classes.  She says painting and art were always important parts of her life and that all she sees around her serves as her inspiration and must be "put down on canvas!"

Meet The New Administrator

Welcome Michael Letter

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Administrator  Michael Letter to our Gurwin Jewish ~ Fay J. Lindner family.  Michael comes to Gurwin after a long career in long- term care administration, most recently as the Administrator at Belair Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in North Bellmore.

"We are delighted to have Michael join our Gurwin family," said Herbert H. Friedman, Executive Vice President/CEO.  "His expertise in senior services and varied management experience will translate well to assisted living. We are excited to have him on our team, not only for his knowledge, but also for his enthusiasm."

Michael is a licensed nursing home administrator, and earned his Master of Arts in Health Administration from Hofstra University.  Since then, he has more than 20 years' experience in senior care, working at the administrative level in a number of facilities.  He says he is particularly happy to have the opportunity to get to know the community's residents and help Gurwin's assisted living build on their superior reputation.

"I am looking forward to the opportunities this new position brings," he said.  "Assisted living as a level of care is growing throughout the country, and to be part of Gurwin's full continuum of care is exciting."

Michael resides in Old Bethpage with his wife, Amy, and two children, Ethan and Jordyn.

Be sure to stop by and say hello!

 Holiday Fun

Purim is a joyous celebration reminding us of the extraordinary strength of our Jewish ancestors in the face of threats of annihilation.  Esther, the Queen, stands up for her people against the evil Haman and saves the life of her cousin, Modercai and thousands of others.


We celebrate at the Lindner Residences in a variety of ways.  The 
 Commack Hills Hadassah joined our community for "Purim Shpiel," a fun and interactive storytelling experience delivered  through song and dance. We continued the celebration in the kitchen with a baking session featuring 
hamantashen! Childhood memories flooded back to our residents while they rolled, tucked and stuffed these confectionery delights.  They shared stories about baking with their mothers and grandmothers and reflected fondly on their own traditions that have been shared with their children and grandchildren.  All in all, a fun-filled holiday at Gurwin!
